While there’s hope in this heart
I will praise You Lord

In the shadows I’ll sing
The joy of the Lord is my strength

Let faith arise to You
God of mercy and love

When sorrow comes my way
You are the shield around me
Always You remain
Like courage in the fight
I hear You call my name
Jesus I am coming
Walking on the waves
Reaching for Your light

The joy of the Lord is my strength
In the darkness I’ll dance
In the shadows I’ll sing
The joy of the Lord is my strength
